Hi Team,After upgrading to Commvault Platform Release 11.40.13, we observed an issue in the Backup Job Summary Report. The report now shows an additional status – “Completed without Backup.”On review, most of the jobs under this status belong to SQL servers with databases configured in Simple Recovery Model, where TLOG backups are skipped. Although the jobs complete successfully, they are being flagged under this new status, which is impacting the SLA completion percentage in reporting.We would like your guidance on the best approach to handle this: Exclude “Completed without Backup” jobs from the Backup Job Summary report so they don’t affect SLA metrics. Alternatively, create separate schedules for databases configured with Simple Recovery Model (without TLOG backups). Kindly suggest which appr

Hello guys!we have 5 XL Linux Media agents, and all of them have 2 DDB Partitions in the size of 5.9 TB. both of the DDB partitions are configured in RAID 1  when trying to configure storage pool from these media agents, we only can configure up to 6 DDB Partitons, and we need all 10 partitions to be available within the storage pool  is there any chance of it?

Is there a clear process to migrate from an Index Server Cloud to an Index Server?We have a two-node Index Server Cloud for Exchange Mailbox and its associated HAC Cluster that are due for a Hardware Refresh. Given that Index Server Cloud is deprecated we will need to look at migrating in the near term.

Im running thru the process on how to rebuild the Web Server shown in the link belowhttps://documentation.commvault.com/11.42/commcell-console/web_server_hardware_refresh_setting_up_new_web_server.htmlThe process looks straight-forward except step 9################################################To restore MongoDB database on the Web Server:a.Copy the latest MongoDB backup file. To retrive backup files, see Retrieval of Disaster Recovery (DR) Backups From Storage.b.Run the Mongo recovery assistant tool.############################################Questions I have1.  How do we get a backup of the MongoDB, it says here retrieve from DR Backup? The one in the DR backup are SQL DB files and not MongoDB?2. Is my understanding correct that this also applies to DR backup from the Commserve for a setup where the Web Server/Command center is in a separate server from the Commserver?3. It says run the Mongo Recovery assista

Hi there,My name is Jim and I’m a Product Manager at OpenNebula - one of the most popular cloud management platforms on the market.We are an Open Source product and have a huge community of users, however in recent months we’ve had a huge influx of requests from our Enterprise Edition customers for Commvault VM backup support.I understand that in order to have this native integration it will need work from the Commvault team and perhaps you have some API standards we can implement on our side as well. We are willing to commit resources to assist and work on such an implementation and it would be great to open a discussion with the Commvault team on this.It would be great to hear if Commvault have had requests from their side as well - we would love to partner on this and share information on the Commvault / OpenNebula customers who have requested such an integration.Thanks in advance,Jim

Planning to rebuild 3 web servers which are tiered.  The Metrics reporting is setup to use Tiered Metrics reporting.  Creating a CA-Signed Certificate for the Tomcat Server Is there any way I can avoid re-doing the creation of certs etc. Possibly saving a copy of critical files for tiered metrics reporting and copying it to the newly refresh Metrics reporting/web server Any advice is appreciated

hello everybody :)I’m deploying a new infrastructure with on prem Commserve and physical media agents, the customer wants to separate the backup data trafic to an isolated network.I configured the new interfaces for this vlan on each media agent and on the vmware hosts, i can ping everything on this dedicated network.I’m struggle to find how to configure Commvault to use this network for backups with data pair.Obviously I dont see the vmware host on the console, only the vcenter which the server used to initiate backups. So no hosts appears on the network pair wizard. Any recommendation? Do I need to add all hosts on the server list ?

Good Day,in July was announced from Commvault and Platform 9 that there is Partnership and native implementation will happen, see here Solution brief from Commvault:https://www.commvault.com/resources/solution-brief/commvault-cloud-for-platform9-private-cloud-directorI cant find any further information, regarding when it will we implemented in which version or any Timeline or something else.Any information which can be shared right now? Thx & BRMarcel

We are currently using Commvault v10 with Dell ML3 tape libraries. Initially, we encountered a media mount error on the library. After replacing the drives, we began receiving the following error intermittently on a few of the tape libraries. Once the drives were cleaned, backups resumed successfully.However, with one particular tape library, the issue persists even after replacing the drives.Note: During backup, the job runs for a few GB and failing with an error.    Error Code: [40:73]Description: Error occurred     in Library [Vxxxx], Drive Name [IBM ULT3580-HH7_2], Barcode [S77370L7],     Path [\\.\Tape1] [Drive did not respond to commands properly. There may be     too many drives on the SCSI Bus operating at the same time. Try reducing     the number of drives on the SCSI Bus. Try reducing the synchronous     transfer rate on the SCSI Controller. Or two controlling programs may be     accessin

Hello,I am trying to recover a backup of a client VSA virtual machine from a secondary copy that was copied to tape approximately 5 years ago.The index version of the VSA client is V1 (I plan to migrate this VSA client to V2 next month. It’s the last client I have left to migrate). The Commvault version is 11.36.24The restoration I am performing is for the entire virtual machine.When attempting to restore, I get the following error message: "The medium is already reserved by some other job. We rarely perform tape recoveries, and what surprised me while researching is that this type of error seems usually appears in multi-stream database recoveries, but there’s no mention of VSA clients.You can see information here:https://kb.commvault.com/article/53924https://documentation.commvault.com/11.20

Question: I'm trying to add Salesforce to Commvault version 11.40.14.Currently, I'm facing an issue where I don't know what to enter in the "Database Host" field.Given that everything in Salesforce, including the database, is SaaS-based, there’s no specific IP address or hostname to provide.  

Hi all,My customer is currently using S3 Glacier Deep Archive with Combined Tier: S3 Standard-Infrequent Access. So far, so good.However, they would like to use S3 Cross Region Replication, which does not replicate data written to the Deep Archive tier. So we are looking for an alternative solution.One alternative solution would be to use S3 Intelligent-Tiering (the Combined Tier is not available then). We believe that would allow the objects to be replicated before they are moved to the Deep Archive Tier.But I am unable to find a clear description on how that actually works with Commvault. Is all data indeed initially written to the “warm” tier? Will it allow the data to be replicated by CRR? Who determines which data can be moved to the Deep Archive Tier? Is that Amazon or Commvault? If it’s Amazon that determines which data can be moved to the Archive Tier, how do we ensure metadata and indexes are kept in

Hi Community,I’m working with Commvault v11.36.68 (on-prem) and need to generate a report—either through the CommCell Console or Command Center—that shows details for a specific storage policy.Specifically, I’d like to export: All schedules running under that storage policy The retention period associated with each schedule The goal is to understand what backups will run in a given week of the month and what their corresponding retention periods will be.I’ve been unable to find a built-in report or option that provides this information. Has anyone done this before, or is there a way to build such a report?Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Hello,I have a storage policy with an AuxCopy ( synchronous )  configured with the bewlo retention rules:7 days 1 CycleWeekly full - 30 DaysMonthly full - 90 Days I’m planning to create a another copy that will point to another data path to hold only the short-term retention ( 7 days 1cycle ), and to reconfigure the existing one to hold only the Weekly + Monthly full keeping the same retention days for those.How should I re-configure the exsiting copy?  Just remove the short retention rules ( 0 days 0 cycles ) and leave the extended retention rules for the weekly + monthly fulls as is ? Leave it as synchronous copy  or change it to selective ?Thanks

I have a NDMP NAS SP (shares / subclients)I want to copy the data to a DR facility.My DASH copy is running very slow. 25GB/hr but the data to be copied is several TBs.Is there anything I can do to improve the performance?. How I can add more streams? 

Hello!I hope you all are doing well!I have been working with Commvault for a few years, but I have never dealt with Kubernetes backup before. So I really do have a lot of questions and challenges.While I am still trying to prepare the environment to be stable and resilient, I discussed with the Kubernetes team a specific application called RabbitMQ.We currently have a scheduled backup once per day, but the k8s team told me that there are a lot of changes happening within this RabbitMQ queue. It is constantly changing.So my concern is: how can I help the k8s team to properly cover this? Do you know any best practices for such cases? Something like a log backup maybe? I don’t think running a full RabbitMQ backup every 15–30 minutes is a good idea.Do you have any tips? 

Hello Team, We are planning to implement Commvault backup of File system data (approx. 95 TB) and will use disk library of HPE object storage bucket. This is on-premises backup.Please advise any best practice to use in object backed target library.How many buckets to create from object storage will use in Commvault library.How many disk library to use (in each bucket to use single disk library or many buckets to use single library) Any ways to configure Data reader & writers limitationShall we use Dedup, Compression & encryption feature from commvault to use object based target.Thanks in advance.  

Running 11.36.72 Started noticing jobs for the same storage policy where we have plenty of a certain number of streams available but readers are distributed sometimes to a single job while the other jobs part of the same storage policy go to a Waiting state. Most of the time I have noticed this with Full and incremental go waiting.Screenshot below shows all running (same stg policy) at the moment, but we can see the discrepancy between the job readers. How do I make sure that these are better distributed? Eanble stream randomization for backup is enabled Distribute data evenly among multiple strams is also enable 

Hi all,I have a simple deployment with 2 Media Agent in GRID using SAN disk; deduplication is enabled on Media Agent.I wanted to segregate back-end storage for different platform (VMware, AIX, etc...) or customer. Is there any option to achieve that? Should I create many storage pool for each platform/client or is there any way to associate multiple libraries to the primary storage pool? Thank a lot for support.
